How to Make Mimi's Sour Cream Pie

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare your pie crust (use your favorite recipe or store-bought).
In a large bowl, beat together the sour cream, sugar, and eggs until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice; mix well.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is just set. The edges should be lightly golden brown.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
Once cooled, chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).
